What are the characteristics of infantile autism?

As the name suggests, infantile autism is a mental disorder that occurs in infancy. There is actually not a single factor that leads to this disease. For example, genetic genes or social and psychological factors will have an impact on it, which will cause great harm to the healthy growth of the infant. Infants with autism are prone to anorexia and unwillingness to contact others, and their language communication skills are getting worse and worse.

Characteristics of children with autism

1. Social disorder is the core symptom of autism. In infancy, the child is often alone, unwilling to look at others, and does not show attachment to his mother and relatives. At the same time, he does not care about the caress of strangers and will not refuse or feel uneasy. He doesn't like to cry or laugh, and is often mistaken for a "good" child. As they grow older, the symptoms of loneliness become more obvious. They become unfriendly to their relatives, for example, they do not welcome their parents when they come home, and they do not cry when their parents leave. If you are not unfamiliar with strangers, you can let strangers take you away casually. He does not participate in any group activities, is often alone, and does not play role-playing games, not even games like playing with dolls or "driving cars". Sometimes when his parents talk to him, he seems to be listening but not really responding, as if he is deaf. He is also unwilling to look others in the eye and have eye contact with them. This type of social interaction problem becomes apparent after the age of 3.

Second language development disorder

The most important symptom is that the language is a comprehensive qualitative damage, manifested as few words, inability to talk to others, little or no social language, frequent misuse of pronouns, repetitive stereotyped or imitative language, monotonous and flat language tone, or the appearance of "egocentric language" - manifested as talking to oneself, screaming to oneself, and sometimes body language and gesture language are also damaged.

From the above introduction, we can find that when a baby suffers from autism, it will directly affect his social skills and language ability, because as the child grows up, he will have more and more of these abilities, but if he suffers from autism, he will not be able to effectively complete them, communicate with others, or convey his emotions.
